Most of the deciduous trees are still holding onto their leaves, creating an interesting mix of fall colors and white snow. The westbound Zephyr, running right on time, approaches the camera between 68th Avenue and Kipling Street in Arvada, a few miles east of Leyden.

The snow is really sticking to the pine trees, subduing the colors. It appears that AMTK 144 has a little bit of damage on its nose.

In the background, it almost looks as though there are two tracks climbing up Big Ten Curve. However, what might appear to be tracks on the right is in fact tire tracks in the snow created by MOW vehicles. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
